From another news article in the Star-Telegram:
“On a campaign swing through Cherokee, Iowa, Perry was asked why the Employee Retirement System should be paying his retirement while he's still collecting a salary.

“That's been in place for decades. ... I don't find that to be out of the ordinary,” Perry said of the practice. “ERS called me and said, ‘Listen, you're eligible to access your retirement now with your military time and your time and service, and I think you would be rather foolish to not access what you've earned.’”

He asked for the Money. He put in the paperwork. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb! Collect Double Dips while running for President and calling a system that steals 12% of the average workers wages every year for forty plus years and returns a paltry $1,00. per month at age 67, if he or she is lucky enough to actually live that long.

He's getting a check from a trust. Not the State of Texas. Sure, the ERS manages it. But the money in it comes from the folks that pay into it... State workers. Not ordinary taxpayers.

And BTW... I was 10 years old when I saw obvious differences in stories in the Startle-Gram and things I eyewitnessed 3 different times.

Amon Carter's newspaper is and has been crap since at least the '60s.

Quoting anything from them to me is like saying you don't know anything.
